The Darcy Brothers team would like to thank Dave and Evie for all the trouble they’ve made work they’ve done on the Reader’s Perspective posts. We hope this experiment added to the reading experience. In the meantime, don’t forget to send your questions for Theo Darcy for next week’s Q&A session – especially those questions …
EC-I have to admit that this weeks chapter left me feeling fine. During the course of reading a novel I go through a whirlwind of emotions. First I feel excited and intrigued. I love trying to guess where the story will take me and figure out just what it is that will be so different …
EC-One of the things that I love so much about Pride and Prejudice is the truth of the characters. Jane Austen did not portray characters that were perfect. They were flawed, just like I am flawed. Everyone knows who the people around them are in relationship to the novel. Here are a two examples from …
Apparently the question of who would write the Reader’s Perspective this week was about to degenerate into virtual fisticuffs, but Evie and Dave resolved it by deciding to write it together. A dangerous precedent to allow them to work together – now they’re hatching all sorts of schemes! – Abigail DM- My first reaction to …
This week we’ve taken a couple of days to celebrate Pride & Prejudice: The Scenes Jane Austen Never Wrote, an anthology many of us participated in, by sharing a few of our favorite scenes from it. It started a couple of years ago with a project called P&P200 where we took turns writing missing scenes …

This week Monica Fairview and Abigail Reynolds have blessed us with glimpses into Elizabeth’s mind. After reading these excerpts I must retract about half of what I said last week. No longer am I concerned about the pace of the writing and no longer am I concerned with Elizabeth’s rather sudden change of heart. We …

November 16, 1811 To Mr. Darcy it was welcome intelligence—Elizabeth had been at Netherfield long enough. She attracted him more than he liked—and Miss Bingley was uncivil to her, and more teasing than usual to himself. He wisely resolved to be particularly careful that no sign of admiration should now escape him, nothing that could …
Poor Evie! She was kind enough to agree to step up and take over the Reader’s Perspective post at the last minute for Dave McKee, and instead of giving her a gentle start, we gave her a tough chapter to comment on. Fortunately, she’s a very nice person and will probably forgive me some day …
